2008 Infiniti G37 Coupe

The completely new 2008 Infiniti G37 Coupe has hit dealership floors this month. It’s primary existence being the ability to show the Europeans that the Japanese can put together a driver’s car and not break the bank. The 330 horsepower, 3.7 liter V6 engine is the latest iteration and packs a punch previously unseen in this price range. Better yet, you can row your own gears with it’s 6-speed manual transmission.

The coupe is available with options such as an 11-speaker Bose surround sound system, rearview monitor, 4-wheel active steering system, and paddle shifters.

What this means to you: Showing the die-hard Euro-car enthusiasts that something wicked can come from the East.
